Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

No Left Turns

When Money Talks

It has been well-documented that John Kerry has not captured the heart and soul of liberalism and its Democratic party, but he is their only mouthpiece now for defeating George Bush in November, and the Left is, er, putting its money where its mouth is. The intro to the WaPo article on Kerry’s campaign finances reads:

Since locking up the Democratic nomination on March 2, Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) has raised more than $100 million, or over $1 million a day -- a pace breaking all presidential campaign records, including those set by President Bush.

and the cool thing is that only 1/3 of that came from maximum donations ($2000) as opposed to Bush’s 2/3 from max donations. I know a ton of people who have never given before but have given $25-$100, including myself.

More evidence that the Democrats supposedly don’t accept donations from large corporations or institutions? More evidence that they are "mobilizing
disfranchised voters who feel out of the political process?" Blah, blah.
